The Fisher's Ghost Sighting Haunting Campbelltown No One Can Explain

The Fisher's Ghost Sighting Haunting Campbelltown No One Can Explain

Four months after a Campbelltown farmer vanished without explanation, a local man burst into the town's hotel in genuine terror. He said he'd just seen the missing man's ghost sitting on a bridge rail, silently pointing toward a paddock across the creek. A police search of that exact spot turned up a body.

We're pretty much tracing the story of Fisher's Ghost, the forged letter and suspicious neighbour that first raised suspicion, the Aboriginal tracker whose reading of the land actually cracked the case, and the hanging that followed, a case where the ghost story was never even allowed in court. Nearly 200 years on, Campbelltown still runs an annual festival for it, and nobody has ever fully explained what John Farley actually saw that night.
